Its horrifying thought that this "Steve Urkel" of politics will be the Commander In Chief of the US military.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Urkel

Anon I object, that is NOT cool.
You insult Steve Urkel by comparing him to Obama.
Urkel may have been a clumsy dork on the show, but he was also really smart, humble, and had a kind heart, none of which are attributes I'd associate with Barack Obama.

I see you guys are still having fun. I figured today might find you a bit angry. But I do have a serious question. I know I am a terrorists loving America hating moonbat who can't tell when a smooth operator like Obama is pulling the wool over my eyes, but can you guys explain why publications like the Chicago Tribune, who haven't endorsed a Democrat in 150 years, would endorse Obama, if he is the embodiment of evil, as you guys claim?

Um, because Obama is a local politician?

Oh, that's right. I remember all of the Adlai Stevenson love the Tribune threw at him, right? Did Stevenson run 150 years ago? I don't remember, because otherwise, the Tribune didn't go for the "local politician"

And Colin Powell is only backing him because he's black, right? And Christopher Buckley, and the guy who co-wrote the "contract with america" and Paul O'neill and Francis Fukuyama and Christopher Hitchens and so on and so on. These are all staunch conservatives who are supporting Obama.

Are these people so blinded by his terrorist loving personality that they can't see that his election will doom the country? Or is it possible you guys might be a bit over the top in your hatred of Obama?

You have a peculiar definition of staunch conservative if you think Colin Powell, Chris Buckley, Paul O'Neill, Francis Fukuyama and Christopher Hitchens fit the definition. Outside the war saginst Islamofascism, Hitchens is a socialist and atheist.

And I know that you lefties don't get this, because yours is a personality cult. But the right is motivated by ideas. Ideas define themselves, they aren't defined by who speaks them. We don't worry about fitting in with the crowd. And a bunch of trendy Manhattan-Washington socialites suddenly deciding that socialism and surrender are the cool thing doesn't impress us.

Not to mention that the Tribune Company is $13 Billion in debt as the result of a leveraged buyout in 2007. I imagine if you're a sinking media company hoping for a bailout, you don't run against the Thug with the Benjamins.

Obviously the Chicago Tribune didn't need a Weatherman to see which way the wind blows.

But they had one available, if they did.

v, you are missing my point. I'm not saying that because the conservatives are voting for Obama, everyone else should. I'm saying that it's hard to believe all of these people are drinking liberal kool aid.

The premise of almost all the derision I see on here is that anyone who is voting for Obama is an intellectual lightweight, overwhelmed by Obama's star power, and simply doing it because it's the "cool" thing to do. That a large segment of conservatives (staunch or not) are also siding with Obama shows what nonsense that is. Yes, some are voting for Obama because he is a star. Many are voting for Obama because it appears he has a more palatable view of what our country should be doing. Of course you guys don't, but that's because you read evil intent into an Obama trip to the bathroom.

And you can take your claim that the "right is motivated by ideas", and keep walking. Beside the fact that this claim is monumentally egotistical, and assuming you voted for Bush in 2004, you have no right to be talking about ideas. Conservative ideas are smaller government, less government intrusion into our private lives, and an enormous reluctance to enter into nation building. All ideas I can, for the most part, whole heartedly get behind. GWB has pissed all over these "ideas". The only conservative idea he can lay claim to is lower taxes for the wealthy.

bt..I hope the next terrorist attack on US soil (funny, we haven't had one since 9/11) is not near you or a loved one
PS Bush is NO conservative

Bush did not run as a conservative, and he certainly hasn't governed as one. I have never been a Bush supporter nor am I, for that matter, a McCain supporter. But only an idiot would believe that a platform built on raising taxes in the teeth of a recession is a good idea.

And no Obamunist has yet to explain how he can pay for all the expansion of government he has promised by only reinstating the Clinton tax rates on the top 5% of taxpayers.

Chairman O's policies of massive infrastructure investment and government injection of cash into the credit markets are the precise set of policies that mired Japan in recession for over a decade.

Chairman O's combination of foreign policy naivete and economic incompetence was tried before, by Jimmy Carter. I was just a little kid then, but from what I am told, it was not America's shining hour.

Last I check we weren't supposed to change the way we live because that would have meant the t'rrists won.

It seem our freedoms hindered and infringed upon in the name of "protecting freedom" and our country bankrupt on a pointless war in Iraq, having to borrow money form the "Commies" is China, a debt our grandchilren might pay back in their lifetime.

Looks like the t'rrists won...

'Merica - WAS land of the free, home of the brave. NOW land of restricted, home of the bedwetter.

The War in Iraq turned out to cost a whole lot less than the Community Reinvestment Act; that socialist experiment in handing out mortgages to people who were too financially irresponsible for home ownership.

And just where is Comrade Obama going to borrow the trillions he will need to put 47 million people on Medicaid, spend 85 billion a year in payoffs to third world despots (Global Poverty Act), hand out $70 billion a year in tax welfare to people who don't pay taxes, spend $300 billion on 'Big Dig' type infrastructure projects, and provide federal subsidies for college tuition and daycare?

Come on, Obamunists, you won't spoil the surprise. Tell us where the money will come from.

How much did FDR know about PEARL HARBOR before it happened how much did WOODROW WILSON know about the LUSITAIAN was carrying arms

I called BULLS**T on both of those incidents on this very site. Unless you can come up with EVIDENCE, I'll lump you with the LIBERALS who just love conspiracy stories and think EVIDENCE is for wussies.

I own a business I started with my brother. We come from a middle class family. Everything we have we earned ourselves. No trust funds no transferred wealth. My wife stays at home with our two children. We are christians. I earn more than a lot of you on this site and stand to pay a fair amount in taxes. I bet I rate more conservative than you.

I'm not afraid.

What are you afraid of? A man? His words? His ideas? Are you afraid that if you actually had the resume to get into a room with Obama he would win you over? He would be a slightly greater man than you? Would he convince you that America needs invest in itself and think much bigger than it ever has? Perhaps he would make you understand that we are all asleep. There is an immense amount of work to do and the world is depending on us. America has to lead. It has nothing to do with socialism - It has everything to do with expanding our mission as a country. I want to part of something larger. Bigger. I want to see a new horizon. I want my children to see it, too.
